Vehicle protection plan for Used+ vehicles

What is a Used+ Special Offer?Used+ Special Offers make it easy to get an up-front price from the dealership on the specific car you want. You'll also have a personal contact at the dealership when you're ready to buy. Used vehicles marked as Used+ that also have a price strikethrough come with a special discount (available once you submit your contact details to the dealer). And with our Used+ vehicle protection plan, we provide you with an extended warranty and 12 months roadside assistance, which means peace of mind, time saved, and less stress (works with qualified used vehicles only). Additionally, our program offers you a free gift card on qualified purchases. Please click here for more details on the program.
